ADLA1 E. STEYENSON,
OF ILMNOIS.
OUR NO.MINKKS.
Just as we were goiug to press
laat week the wires told us that the
Xational Democratic Convention at
Kansaa City, Missouri, waaabout to
stampede for David B. Ilill as the
vice-Tresidential candidate. We are
told that Mr. Bryan, at his Xebrask*
home, wa8 kept fnlly infonned as to
mattera in the Convention City, and
that he at once sent word that he did
not want llill. Thia would not have
prevented thenomination of tbegreal
Xew Yorker had Mr. llill not nip
ped the movement in thebod. Uahke
Teddy Roosevelt his "no" meant no.
Uncontrolled enthti8iastn hold sway
for awhile, and it was with the
ntmo8t exertion upon the part of
Hill aud hisfrienda tliat the tuniuh
waa quelled aud the Convention
again got down to baaiaam Whea
it did nominations for the second
place on the ticket were proceeded
with. The first ballot g.ive Adlai
E. Stevenaon, of lllinois, the honor
hy a large majority.
We have heard of Mr. Steyenaou
before. He ia the only l>?inocrat
living who was a viced'resident.
Hia administration of thtdutiea of
that oflice will be rccalled aa one of
the finest in our political hialory.
When Mr. Cleveland had drifted
away from the organi/.ed party?or
had driven the party from him?his
mate, vice-Tresident BttfBBjoa atood
like a CJibraltar for the iattffrtta and
a < o -
continued supremacy of the party
aad ita organi/ation. His strong.
hand waa felt and he was the only
high oflicial?that held out to the
end?who kept the party spirita at ail
buoyant.
We preferred llill as the noniinee,
because we thinkit necessary to carrv
New York to achieve :>emocratic
aucceas in next Xoveniber, and llill
waa the logical eastern candidate.
But we are r.a well aatialied now that
it is Stevenson, because he is a tower
of 8treugth ail over tln? I'nion and
be haa au uutarnished record. Ue
flection on the aituation leada Demo
crata with one accord to feel that
Bryan and Stevenaon ia the strongest
ticket that could have been put up.
THE PLATFORK.
The Citizek is very uiuch uisap
pointed that the ipaestion of silver
coinage at the ratio of 1G to 1 was
specifically demanded in the Kansas
<Jity platform. We take it, however,
with tke best grace, koowing as well
as wedo that he who expects every
thing that he asks ftrr in politics
will lauguish of a disappointed life.
It is hardly necessarv totiay that our
desireson this line werebased purely
?ipon -, vier,* to party policy. As we
have time and again stated, we
believe that the party would have
had an easier tight and?a successful
isaue out of it all. That is still our
opinion; but the delegates at Kansus
City?or, rather, Mr. W. J. Bryau?
thought otherwise, and their judg
ment in the matter should and will
be accepted as the best.
The remainder of the platform is
all that Democrat8, without excep
ttoo, can desire. It is a heroic
document, because it fearlessly
attacks the giant evila whieh are
threatening and already engulting
ourRepublic. There isnotemporizing
with existing evils and no palliating
thecrimesof those high in the coun
cil8 of any party; no placating the
arrogant aud controlling monev
power or making concessions to vote
controlling rnonopolisis. It is a
document that warai l)efore it
atrikes and then strikes for ke*pa
No man of miud can halt aud staiul
with one foot npon if, ncMtating
what to do next; he inust stand
equarely upon it and tuke it all or
leave it alone. There is no halting]
?ow between two opinions. The
ttepublican platform may olTer some
of the same results but all have
iearned that that document was
never made to abide by. In the
great contraat between the two there
ean Ot oo hesitatiug. The platform
of two parties never differed more
wnl. Iv and upou as many vital issues.
With these before the voters of the
eountrv there is no room for a third.

lawyera? nien learned in theirprofes

ahould be some lawyera in that bodv,
of course. We favor a large percen

dominated by them. * * * *
A iiieinber of this convention should

chosen becauae of his fjtuess for the
work to be done, no matter what
may be his buainess vocation.
We hope to see in the convention
a acore or more of our greatest law
yers; but there are other questions
than those of law tobe decided; there
ia need that ail the interesta of thia
